Table of Contents

Tasfia: Hey guys! i added a lot of details to our table of contents. I took out owner things because i thought you might wanna reconsider things after you've been through everything in the book. feel free to change anything! im hoping we'll get all the writing done by monday? latest wednesday i guess. have a wonderful weekend!

Just to clairfy, an INDEX is a detail list of words and concepts that can be found throughtout the book. It appears at the end of the manual.

A TABLE OF CONTENTS appears in the beginning. It is a list of chapters and sections of the book.

Please add more pages accordingly.

1. (Title Page)
2. Authors' Message
3. Table of Contents
4. Introduction to Programming and the basics
   1. Who is Turing?
   2. What is Turing?
      1. Turing is a begginners programming language. all together an IDE.
   3. Turing environtment
      1. IDE (components)
      2. Editor window
         1. made up of keyword, objects, procedures/function
         2. built in and user created procedures/function/values
      3. run window
         1. displays excecution
   4. introduction to program control
      1. three types
         1. selection
         2. sequence
         3. repitition
      2. basic definition of selection
5. If Statements
   1. definition (please include a more real life explaination. "if my mom comes home late i'll go to the party, otherwise i will come home")
   2. incorporation of boolean significance
      1. if and then act as brackets for the boolean expression
      2. boolean truth table
      3. put a "remeber, no magic values for boolean expressions!"
   3. simple two-way selection (if, else, end if)
      1. explain true part and false part
      2. show a fail/ pass example
   4. three way selection (if, elseif, else, endif)
      1. explain variety of the elsifs
      2. explain how order counts because the program executes in sequence
      3. the part looked for is often made the true part
      4. show a simple program. maybe get age and tell them how muct their bus fair is?
   5. multi-way selection
      1. if statements within if statements
      2. give example
      3. can have if statements anywhere
   6. concept quiz
      1. can an if statement be found within two other if statements?
         1. what are the pros and cons of this?
      2. why does order count in an if statement?
      3. why would we want to put the looked-for value in the true part?
      4. and so on
6. Case statements
   1. definition
   2. use over if
   3. rules
      1. control value must be string, integer or character
      2. control value datatype muust be same as label list's
      3. each label is a set of instruction to be excecuted
      4. if statements can go within case
      5. each label has a set of 0 or more statements
      6. alphabetical, logical and consistant order
      7. will blow up if there is no blank label
   4. concept quiz
      1. done the same way as the if. CONCEPT quiz.
7. trouble shooting
   1. scenarios and solutions
8. About the Authors
9. glossary
   1. selection construct
   2. if, then, end if construct
   3. two way selection
   4. if, then, elsif, end if construct
   5. three way selection
   6. multi-way selection
   7. case construct
   8. datatype
   9. boolean expression
   10. boolean operator
       1. unary
       2. binary
   11. control value
   12. label list
10. test yourself
    1. Should we use If or Case in this_ situation? (about 5 of those)
    2. create a menue with choices of a, b, c, d, e, f and display "you have chosen" message at the end
    3. make a case statement with for displaying "i'm colour!" in the chosen colour.
    4. word problems
       1. for example: I'm lost in my school. I dont know where my next class is. All i know is what subject i am going to. Can you create a program to help me?"
    5. recreate this program
    6. final selection test
11. index
12. references
13. back cover

+ CD.

I moved the About the Authors page to the back of the book. If I'm correct, these pages are usually at the back of a book. Then again, I rarely read non-fiction material. I'm writing the introduction to Turing. I'll have it done and sent to you, Tasfia, by January 8. Where will you include it?

That's a good point, Is it usually at the end? It makes more sense. Yes the end would be btter.
